Cpr Card For Cna


Do most places require you have a current CPR card to be a CNA?

It depends where you work. Most hospitals require it, but most long term care facilities do not. It's best to check the place your interested in working. Hope this helps.

I agree with chevyv, but I would like to add that at any given moment of being a cna, you may have to perform cpr. So, I'd say it would be best to get it even if your facility does not require it. Also, it is great to know at home, the mall, the park, etc. You may just save a life!!!
